# OpenRS2
[![Build status badge](https://build.openrs2.dev/api/badges/openrs2/openrs2/status.svg)](https://build.openrs2.dev/openrs2/openrs2/)
5 years ago
## Introduction
OpenRS2 is an open-source multiplayer game server and suite of associated
tools. It is compatible with build 550 of the RuneScape client, which was
released in late 2009.
## Prerequisites
OpenRS2 requires version 8 or later of the [Java Development Kit][jdk].
The JDK is required even if a pre-built copy of OpenRS2 is used, as it depends
on JDK-only tools, such as `jarsigner`, at runtime.

### Non-free components
OpenRS2 requires the original RuneScape client code, data and location file
encryption keys, which we cannot legally distribute.
These files must be manually placed in the `nonfree` directory (directly
beneath the root of the repository), in the following structure:
```
nonfree
└── code
   ├── game_unpacker.dat
   ├── jaggl.pack200
   ├── loader_gl.jar
   ├── loader.jar
   ├── runescape_gl.pack200
   └── runescape.jar
```
The SHA-256 checksums of the correct files are:
```
7c090e07f8d754d09804ff6e9733ef3ba227893b6b639436db90977b39122590 nonfree/code/game_unpacker.dat

```
The `nonfree` directory is included in the `.gitignore` file to prevent any
non-free material from being accidentally included in the repository.
## Building
Run `./gradlew` to download the dependencies, build the code, run the unit tests
and package it.

## Contributing
OpenRS2 is still in the early stages of development. The current focus is on
building underlying infrastructure, such as the deobfuscator, rather than
game content. This approach will make it much quicker to build game content in
the long run, but it does mean OpenRS2 won't be particularly useful in the short
term.
If you're interested in contributing new features, you should discuss your
plans in our [Discord][discord] server first. I have rough plans in my head for
the future development direction. Communicating beforehand will avoid the need
for significant changes to be made at the code review stage and make it less
likely for your contribution to be dropped entirely.

### Code style
All source code must be formatted with [IntelliJ IDEA][idea]'s built-in
formatter before each commit. The 'Optimize imports' option should also be
selected. Do not select 'Rearrange entries'.
5 years ago
OpenRS2's code style settings are held in `.idea/codeStyles/Project.xml` in the
repository, and IDEA should use them automatically after importing the Gradle
5 years ago
project.
Kotlin code must pass all of [ktlint][ktlint]'s tests.
5 years ago
### Commit messages
Commit messages should follow the ['seven rules'][commitmsg] described in
'How to Write a Git Commit Message', with the exception that the summary line
can be up to 72 characters in length (as OpenRS2 does not use email-based
patches).
You should use tools like [interactive rebase][rewriting-history] to ensure the
commit history is tidy.
### Developer Certificate of Origin
OpenRS2 uses version 1.1 of the [Developer Certificate of Origin][dco] (DCO) to
certify that contributors agree to license their code under OpenRS2's license
(see the License section below). To confirm that a contribution meets the
requirements of the DCO, a `Signed-off-by:` line must be added to the Git
commit message by passing `--signoff` to the `git commit` invocation.
If you intend to make a large number of contributions, run the following
commands from the repository root to add `Signed-off-by:` line to all your
commit messages by default:
```
echo -e "\n\nSigned-off-by: $(git config user.name) <$(git config user.email)>" > .git/commit-template
git config commit.template .git/commit-template
```
The full text of the DCO is reproduced below:
```
Developer Certificate of Origin
Version 1.1
Copyright (C) 2004, 2006 The Linux Foundation and its contributors.
1 Letterman Drive

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1
By making a contribution to this project, I certify that:
(a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me and I
have the right to submit it under the open source license
indicated in the file; or
(b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best
of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source
license and I have the right under that license to submit that
work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part
by me, under the same open source license (unless I am
permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated
in the file; or
(c) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other
person who certified (a), (b) or (c) and I have not modified
it.
(d) I understand and agree that this project and the contribution
are public and that a record of the contribution (including all
personal information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is
maintained indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with
this project or the open source license(s) involved.
```
OpenRS2 does not distribute any of Jagex's intellectual property, and care
should be taken to avoid inadvertently including any in contributions.
### Versioning
OpenRS2 uses [Semantic Versioning][semver].

## License
Switch to the ISC license I've been considering this for a long time, and have decided to switch to it at the last minute before opening the repository up publicly. My reasons include: * It's a much simpler license. GPL's complexity adds some risk - for example, it might be incompatible with future open-source licenses (like the well-known GPLv2/Apache v2 incompatibility problem). The "or any later version" clause requires placing some trust in the Free Software Foundation. * The simplicity makes it easier for people to understand and comply with the license. * Dishonest users who disobey the GPL would have an advantage over honest users who refuse to do so. The ISC license provides a much more even playing field. * OpenRS2 will primarily be server software accessible over a network. As such, the GPL can do little to prevent use of the code in a proprietary system, as the code is never distributed. (While the AGPL would fix this, I have already discounted it. Enforcement would be too difficult and dishonest users would have an unfair advantage.) * It's much easier to switch to a stricter license in future versions, if it turns out that is desirable (as the ISC license allows users to sublicense the code). However, switching from the GPL to the ISC license requires all copyright holders to grant permission. * Other open-source projects in the community, such as Apollo, use the ISC license and will be able to make use of OpenRS2 code if they so desire. I've removed the FAQ entry about the reasons for using the GPL license, as I think the ISC license is less controversial and therefore does not require an entry. I've discussed this with Desetude, and he's okay with his commit being relicensed.

OpenRS2 is available under the terms of the [ISC license][isc], which is
similar to the 2-clause BSD license. The full copyright notice and terms are
available in the `LICENSE` file.
